Toronto's Rob Ford says he bought drugs in the last two years.

At a recent council meeting there was a vote between the Councillors of Toronto on whether or not Rob Ford should take a leave of absence from his position of Mayor. The vote was 41 in favor of him leaving and 2 in favor of him staying one of the 2 votes being Rob Ford himself. These votes cannot be used to force him to leave office but were taken in hopes of encouraging him to step down and deal with his personal issues. A determined Rob Ford stated "I'm most definitely keeping this job...I'm not leaving here" also stating he would run again in 2014 for Mayor.
In my opinion I think it is time for Rob Ford to step down. I think some Toronto residents supported him initially when he admitted smoking crack cocaine but I think he is quickly losing that support. He should work out his personal issues before he makes Toronto suffer. I agree with the Councillors with their comments and votes on whether he should step down. They brought up good points about embarrassing the city and not being able to focus on his job. It is too bad that these votes do not mean anything and Rob Ford is too determined to stay in office.
